I just tolerate a far greater range of opinions than you do.
Because you aren't paying for it. Now that I'm not paying for it, they aren't my responsibility.

You don't want us to leave but also create a situation where we can't make a change. Y'all might not have really wanted it but you certainly pushed a position where it became clear a couple hours ago the options were shut it down or turn it over.

You're welcome that we picked the second.
We didn’t start this YOU did, don’t try to twist the sequence of events. YOU created the rules that let to the departure and forced departure of several members. here.

Arbitrary rules got created in YOUR mind lately and once you realized that a significant portion of this tiny community disagreed you :nope: d out. Take some responsibility for YOUR actions and YOUR stance.

That said as mentioned the demise may be inevitable because obviously you won't tolerate others the same way they tolerated you.

Hey doods, I'm just seeing this new thread now! Wow, I hope that everyone is still cool and nobody is walking away from the forum!

I am getting more clarity on today's events now and want to thank everyone for the good that is being contributed to the forum in the foreground and background daily. Hope we can build on it.

I mean, I've left and come back before.
Not trying to make a thing about it.

My original comment was eluding to the fact that I've already left several times to take a break.

:word: I think many/most of us have done this. It's normal with friendships to become aggravated from time to time, only when it is frequently bringing you down, is it worth considering moving on, IMO.

Hopefully we can all get along and be frands.

I think the most constant complaint about this place is that it can be Debbie Downerville. I have never really felt this but that's probably because I'm a surly motherfucker in the first place.
I do think there are a lot of bright fellas on here and collectively there is a significant amount of wisdom and experience. I've never really understood the whole keyboard warrior thing where you are ruder than you would ever be in real life though.

Two exceptions:

1. The great MahTroy banning.
2. When KYGUY f/k/a BurntWithFajitasWhilePraying unleashed that fusilade of whiskey elitism on [user not found] one night. THAT was some funny shit.

Moving forward, as it's collectively owned, y'all can probably hold elections.

God damnit Alan, you just guaranteed a bunch of people would quit.
This is inevitable unless the current few in power can play by the same rules as the rest of us. Which seems like a reasonable ask.

I don't really know :wtf: happened here. I'm still several pages behind in OT but I'm sorry to see our (former) mods take a step back. I had no complaint about how things were run here. :iono:
:wrong: , I'm sure.

Here's what happened Ron. Our soft porn guy quit on us. The result was the natives got restless. When the natives get restless they don't want their views to be disrespected. :science:

Pretty much all :dat:

From what I'm learning, it looks like if 15 people are willing to participate in the co-op, it should be around $10 each annually.

I hope to see at least a handful of people willing to throw down a Hamilton so that I don't become viewed as a ruthless :dong: tator.

Only a real drama queen would make a big deal about leaving. Like coming back and making a ranting post then leaving again.
This isn't an airport, I don't need to announce my departure.

What does it matter?
Exactly. Why does it fucking matter.

There has never been a power play. Just idiots crossing lines that shouldn’t be crossed. Rule number fucking one is don’t be a dick. Waxer was being a dick.

Anti-science, anti-fact rhetoric ranks right up there with racism or LGBT intolerance for me. And if that’s the stuff you guys want to openly support on here, I’m bowing out.

I can’t willingly tolerate anyone posting that kind of drivel and promoting such a dangerous message. And that’s why I’m stepping down, passing the torch, and perhaps stepping away for a bit.

I’m tired of seeing otherwise intelligent people believe in questionable things simply because it doesn’t align with their personal narrative of money, god, or guns (or all 3).
:waxer: claimed he was kidding. :iono: :notsure: :doe:

Totally agree with the bolded and the points thereafter.

Still kinda :wtf: over here...

His following post was the issue for me, personally (suggesting that there was a conspiracy about the fires that the media is covering up).
Ah yea, that was pretty :bs: , if he was serious.
